Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
The national average market value of wind in 2021 was $26/MWh. With high natural gas and wholesale power prices so far in 2022, wind''s average market value may increase again this year. The grid-system market value of wind in 2021 varied by project location, from an average of $16/MWh in MISO to $48/MWh in CAISO.
To be able to respond to fluctuating demand, grid operators built pumped-hydro stations to store the excess energy generated by nuclear power plants during times of low energy use; without
